Wash Out Summer 2013.

[Georgiesmum]

Do you believe the newspapers are right and that its going to be a "wash-out" summer this year?

[237SJ]

I flippin` hope not. I`m not sure anyone can give an accurate long term forecast though.

I don't like heat anyway...............

The headlines of the Daily Express this week said june 2013 will be wet and grotty. with galeforce winds, etc

[DJHawkes]

it wouldn't be a surprise, more chance of that than a 1976er

The joy of living in Wales is that the Weather does not always listen to the Weather Forecast.

That's the kind of response I love, WyeDyed; good for you: Mother Nature does not watch the weather prognostications.

[Booldawg]

Yes. I'm cycling Wales - top to bottom in June. Of course the weather will be bad!

[emmie]

i do,

It looks like I will be living in Wales by July so I will be wanting dry weather, lots of outdoor work to be doing, I want dry weather!!!

a job in weather forecasting must be a doddle no matter how many times you get it wrong u still have the job.

If it don't stop rain soon I will be wondering what is lurking in the grass in my front garden.

Don't believe anything till its here. Just a few months ago they were saying it's going to be the best summer for a long time.... and now it's going to be a wash-out, they need to make their mind up!!

Ratter...I am sorry to disappoint you but if you are looking for even dry-ish weather, Wales isn't the place to be ! We have wonderful scenery, mountains and beaches but nearly always seen from under an umbrella. Even the national costume of red flannel shawls and black hats is made from Goretex these days.

A colleague of mine says that his aunt has consulted the plants and trees and there isn't going to be a summer this year

[Slapshot]

Anyone have some link...be interested to read them

[jno]

how true, mamya, thank you

[boxtops]

It'll do what it's going to do, I'll be working so I guess it won't matter much to me....

[askyourgran]

Thats bit depressing, however MrAsk is going for a knee replacement soon and we wouldn't be able to fly anywhere and even coach travel will have to be put aside until later this year.

Hope it's not too awful - the school summer holidays are 7 weeks and 5 days long this year!
